That was really cool but it bothers me that they don't show the y axis for the effecting factors. Does anyone know if it's normalized or completely arbitrary?

- svantana 10y agoAs I understood it they all showed (modeled) contribution to temperature change at the same scale as the data graph, that's why they could all sum up at the end.
- imh 10y ago>The colored temperature lines are the modeled estimates that each climate factor contributes to the overall temperature. There's only one y axis, and it's degrees F for both lines.
- nom 10y agoThey share the same Y axis, the values are taken from simulations. From the article: "The colored temperature lines are the modeled estimates that each climate factor contributes to the overall temperature. Each factor was simulated five times, with different initial conditions; each slide here shows the average of five runs. GISS researchers laid out their historical simulations in detail last year in this [0] article." [0] http://pubs.giss.nasa.gov/abs/mi08910y.html http://pubs.giss.nasa.gov/abs/mi08910y.html
